A Polyphonic Synth from 1939? Exploring The Hammond Novachord
video upload by HAINBACH
"Playing the ground-breaking and incredible rare Hammond Novachord was a bucket list item for me. So when I discovered that there is a freshly restored at SMEM in Fribourg, I just had to explore it. I was not dissappointed. Check out the EP:

Minimal Ambient w / Tenori-on, OP-1 field, volca fm | Herbal Gathering 2025-04-27 by atnr
video upload by atnr
"A piece created with the YAMAHA TENORI-ON, @teenageengineering OP-1 field, and @KORG_INC volca fm2. Repeating harmonies are washed in effect-laden electronic tones.
TENORI-ON: A phrase is looped with the RANDOM sequencer, then processed through the @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II and GENERATION LOSS MK II.
OP-1 field: I first record a harmony loop, then overdub parts with the internal synth. The output is routed through @strymon NIGHTSKY for modulation, reverb, and filtering.
volca fm2: A slow-attack patch is played and further degraded into lo-fi textures with @ChaseBlissAudio LOSSY."
Analogue Solutions AS500-SEQ Driving a Vintage ARP Odyssey | 64-Step CV Sequencer Demo
video upload by rezfilter
"AS500-SEQ connected to a vintage ARP Odyssey.
It’s sending gate and CV to the Odyssey and clock to the Arturia DrumBrute. Tempo and start/stop are controlled directly from the sequencer.
X, Y, and Jump switches are triggered live to modify the sequence. CV is also patched into the Odyssey’s Pedal input for subtle shifts.
Glide from the AS500-SEQ is active throughout.
The DrumBrute’s audio is fed into the Odyssey’s External Input."
Ample Synthesizer: Sweeping Cutoff with Built-In Echo
video upload by rezfilter
"This patch on the Ample Synthesizer features a multi-oscillator sequence running via its onboard sequencer. The resonance is set high to highlight the harmonic character of the filter as I sweep the cutoff frequency. You’ll hear how the onboard echo effect adds depth and movement to the sound. I’m also using the touchpads, each preset to a different cutoff value via its dedicated pot, allowing for quick and expressive tonal changes throughout the sequence."
MidiVolts Desktop | Moog Mavis
video upload by Space Brain Circuits
"A little demo on using the Moog Mavis with the MidiVolts Desktop. The LFO rate CV response is good for only a couple octaves. Nonetheless, you can still get some cool results. Thanks for watching!

Maximus 4V Polyphonic Analogue Synthesizer | Live Multi-Part Synth Jam
video upload by Analogue Solutions
"Here's a live, one-take recording using the Maximus 4V polyphonic analogue synthesizer from Analogue Solutions (@rezfilter )
All synth parts are coming straight from the Maximus 4V — no external synths, no edits, no overdubs.
Percussion sounds are handled by a 2600 bass drum and vintage Concussor drum modules, original designs from Analogue Solutions.
This high-tempo synthpop/electro track is built entirely from hardware and captured live in the moment. Maximus 4V is an inspiration!"
Check with dealers on the right on availability.

Sequential Prophet 10 REV4 versus Prophet VS Vector Synth: A not-so-detailed comparison and thoughts
video upload by MIDERA
"I had both of these side by side and figured it was now or never - do a brief comparison of the two head to head. What's interesting is listening to the Prophet VS filter afterwards it didn't sound so 'TB-303' like as it did when I recorded it. It sounded more tame. It was a bit depressing, but I guess that's part of what is important to hear - differences between what's recorded and what's heard live.
A few notes: if you listen on a phone, you really won’t hear ANY differences mention, lol. I don’t hear the aliasing on the PVS.
You can initialize the PVS patch as well holding enter and pressing zero. I didn’t do that here because it puts all 4 oscillators on using different waveforms, which isn’t really initialized for my purposes.
Also - I want to comment about something that annoys me. If I ever want to look up anything on the "Prophet VS" it comes up as thinking it means 'versus' so I hardly find any information about the VS.
What do you think about the two (P10 v PVS)?
